traceoptions (Protocols BMP)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

CAUTION:

Enabling tracing can adversely impact scale and performance and may increase security risk. We strongly recommend using the trace, tracing, or traceoptions commands only under the guidance of a JTAC support engineer. After collecting the debug information, immediately disable tracing to minimize risk and restore normal system performance.

Configure tracing options for BMP monitoring. To specify more than one tracing operation, include multiple flag statements.

Options

file file-name—Name of the file to receive the output of the tracing operation. Enclose the name within quotation marks. All files are placed in the directory /var/log. We recommend that you place BMP tracing output in the file bmp-log.

files number—(Optional) Maximum number of trace files. When a trace file named trace-file.0 reaches its maximum size, it is renamed trace-file.0, then trace-file.1, and so on, until the maximum number of trace files is reached. Then, the oldest trace file is overwritten. If you specify a maximum number of files, you must also specify a maximum file size with the size option.

  • Range: 2 through 1000 files

  • Default: 10 files

flag—Tracing operation to perform. To specify more than one tracing operation, include multiple flag statements.

  • all—Trace all BMP monitoring operations.

  • down—Down messages.

  • error—Error conditions.

  • event—Major events, station establishment, errors, and events.

  • general—General events.

  • normal—Normal events.

  • packets—All messages.

  • policy—Policy processing.

  • route—Routing information.

  • route-monitoring—Route monitoring messages.

  • state—State transitions.

  • statistics—Statistics messages.

  • task—Routing protocol task processing.

  • timer—Routing protocol timer processing.

  • up—Up messages.

  • write—Writing of messages.

flag-modifier—(Optional) Modifier for the tracing flag. You can specify one or more of these modifiers:

  • detail—Provide detailed trace information.

  • disable—Disable the tracing flag.

  • receive—Trace the packets being received.

  • send—Trace the packets being transmitted.

no-world-readable—(Optional) Prevent any user from reading the log file.

size size—(Optional) Maximum size of each trace file, in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), or gigabytes (GB). When a trace file named trace-file reaches this size, it is renamed trace-file.0. When the trace-file again reaches its maximum size, trace-file.0 is renamed trace-file.1 and trace-file is renamed trace-file.0. This renaming scheme continues until the maximum number of trace files is reached. Then, the oldest trace file is overwritten. If you specify a maximum file size, you also must specify a maximum number of trace files with the files option.

  • Syntax: xk to specify KB, xm to specify MB, or xg to specify GB

  • Range: 10 KB through the maximum file size supported on your system

  • Default: 128 KB

world-readable—(Optional) Allow any user to read the log file.
